Map of Raleigh
& Scenic Hills | |
|
The maps below come from the original sales brochure for the Scenic Hills neighborhood. The date is somewhere between 1959 and 1961.
Map #1: Frayser & Raleigh
Click map to enlarge. Notice that Hollywood has not yet been extended across the Wolf River to James, and New Allen Road is still a dotted line on the right edge of Scenic Hills. Despite this, they were already planning the northern loop of I-240 (here called a "Middle Parkway") two decades before it was completed. They were also planning an "Outer Parkway" that would have been about where Raleigh-Egypt is.
Map #2: Scenic Hills
Click map to enlarge.
Notice that Scotland was called Warford, the street
that now joins up with New Allen. New Allen was
still just a "Proposed Highway," and it was already
planned that it would extend south of Scenic
Highway, something it wouldn't do until the
Interstate was completed two decades later. Notice
also the shopping center planned for the open area
in the lower left--the lot is still empty today.
Inside the neighborhood, Carnoustie and Invergarry
were both slated to cut through to Whitney;
otherwise the plan was carried out as pictured here.
